Roeland Pelgrims
Roeland Pelgrims co-founded Nobi, an Antwerp-based Company Building AI-powered smart lamps for elderly care that has raised EUR 35 million in a Series B.
Roeland co-founded Nobi in Antwerp, developing a smart lamp system that uses AI and computer vision to detect falls and monitor the wellbeing of elderly residents in care homes. The product is embedded in the ceiling light fixture, making it non-intrusive for residents while giving care staff real-time alerts.
Nobi raised a EUR 35 million Series B, reflecting strong investor interest in AI-enabled care technology as European healthcare systems face demographic pressure. The company operates in the agetech and medtech space, a sector with increasing policy tailwinds across Belgium and the EU.Career
